So these appeared in the latest TF2 Winter comic:

Also, if you look really closely at the smoke coming from the Spy's cigar, it looks like a number 3.

I personally think thats beyond subtle, and just blind hope. You sir should be banned for posting nothing more than false hope.

Oh no, now you done it.

Oh.... Looking at it now the cigar smoke looks like a number 2 (no, not that number 2) when upside down and it's just within the Lambda circle much like how the logo for Half-Life 2 appears so maybe this is for Episode 3 rather than Half-Life 3....

I think this thread should be created when it's actually officially announced.

Thread disappoint!!

If you look at a laptop screen off-axis, so the colours/picture fades, you can see it more clearly.

There's also something in the space of the left.

Could be blind fluke though!

the smoke from teh cigar looks like a backwards 3 near the emblem.
but i think its far too much over analysing things

It sort of looks like a head doesn't it?

You missed the obvious hidden message here as well!

Apparently people are authenticating on Valve TF2 servers with a status of "Gordon".

I'll see if I can capture it on fraps.

Won't you have egg on your face if this actually turns out to be the real deal this time around (unlike the previous 9000 times)

Could be the start of an ARG just like Portal 2?

KNiVES · 24 Dec 2011 at 19:14

Half Life 3 is definitely on the way, but this teasing is just giving us all massive blue balls.

Tummy · 24 Dec 2011 at 19:18

Really? This is what we have to go on?
